Floramel and Esteban
BY Emilie Buchwald
Floramel is the only cow—indeed the only animal—in the meadow, and even the sight of the blue-green Caribbean does not console her. Floramel is also curious. She yearns to know more about the world around her—in the air, on the ground, under the sea—but how can a cow learn about life outside the meadow?
One day a flock of cattle egrets lands in the meadow, and Floramel listens eagerly to their leader explain the relief such a bird can bring to a cow tormented by the bites and stings of insects. When lazy Esteban stays behind with Floramel, a friendship between the two begins and gives Floramel new eyes with which to see the world and a way to make music.
First published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in 1982, this reissue introduces a new generation of readers to an enchanting tale of friendship.
